About 70%–80% of crayfish produced in Louisiana are Procambarus clarkii (red swamp crawfish), with the remaining 20%–30% being Procambarus zonangulus (white river crawfish). [12] Despite the large-scale production in Louisiana, most frozen crayfish available in supermarkets in other states are Chinese imports.
